Built it from

Scratch ? 14 years that's long :) Have you take it to the track ?

Pulled everything out of the car except fuel tank and diff, prepped body and changed from red to yellow. Rebuilt engine with good bits. Tidied up interior and engine bay a bit, still needs few things yet but with limited time it's very slow.

Yep had it ages. Dragged it when I got it and smoked clutch 3rd run. Put it around racetrack in collie. Had a great time!! Plan to do it again one day once finished

I've done the same but not to my car , my Motorbike CBR :) Stripped it all

Out and rebuild it with new fairing , and the whole lot, didn't take me long tho , prob 4-5 months top ? Bought it for $2k and sell it for 6500 [emoji6] Had fun rebuilt motorbike cause it's easy and not so much time consuming

i planned on 6 months as i had a company car and didnt really need it...2 and a half years later got a new job with more time off...started the engine 3 months later for the first time

ahhh time to get back into painting now the kids are asleep...

just uploaded another 110+ photos for the Japan album...keep an eye out

Will do and thanks for posting all amazing pictures [emoji6]

Morning all!

As a few of you guys are scattered around thought would put this out there, my lil bro is looking for a car he would love a skyline but he only has saved 500 any way I am helping him out and giving him another 500 so looking at spending around 1000, (little more for right car) he is 18 going on 19, he also likes civics,preludes and integras so if anyone sees any locally around this price point let me know please :)

For $1k, you won't get much. I have a Lexus ES300 with a fkd auto box in that price range though :P

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
